From an early position, Justin Levitt put all his 255,000 chips in the middle. On the button, John Cipriano called, but Eric Hall in the small blind reraised all-in for 1,500,000.

Scholderle and Bilinsky Play it Carefully

Niveau 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

After betting 130,000 on a 9♦Q♥7♠ flop, Uri Scholderle and Christoph Bilinsky saw a K♠ turn.

"How much do you have?" Scholderle asked, before tapping the table again. They checked again on an A♣. Scholderle showed queen-jack for a pair of jacks, enough to beat Bilinsky's pair of nines with jack-nine. Scholderle continued to chip up.
